Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : Chemical energy

The correct answer is Chemical energy.

  • When a match stick strikes the surface of the matchbox, chemical energy causes it to ignite into a bright flame.
  • When a match is struck, friction creates heat and a flammable compound that ignites in the air.
  • In modern matches, the two flammable compounds most often used are sulfur and red phosphorus.
